A short web article by Ralph Griswold exploring whether Smarandache integer sequences, specifically concatenation and repetition sequences, can generate weave designs. It explains how terms are formed (repetition, prime and cube concatenation), then converts them to threading and treadling sequences by interpreting digits or by modular reduction for 10 shafts. Worked examples show a normalized sequence and drafts with tabby tie-up and the resulting weave patterns. A sidebar gives a short biography of Florentin Smarandache, and the article ends by previewing a follow-up on S. palindromes.
